New Apocalypse Ork Formations

ObiWan · 18-11-2007, 16:22

I've seen 3 new formations, won't go into a lot of detail since I guess they are supposed to be released with the new codex, and I don't want to get my contacts into trouble.
Green Tide: 1 Warboss and 100+ orkz, they have move through cover and multiple waaghs, plus they roll 3 dice on the army waagh.
Shok Attak Battery: 3+ plus big meks plus new snotling unit, you use the apocalyptic barrage with the number in () being the number of meks. If combined, when getting a triple result they create a vortex grenade in the template center, but on triple 1 all meks are removed and the vortex is created on the site of the firing.
Trukk Konvoy: 3+ trukks, strategic redeployment, you can hit a trukk within formation with a S6 hit to add 2D6" to his movement.

The shock attack gun failure sounds like it was meant to break hearts...

Can't wait to see them in action.

The Phazer · 18-11-2007, 17:17

They all sound interesting, though I'm losing the will to live painting an endless swarm of gaunts. Goodness knows what doing 100+ Orks would be like.

I've already got 84 so an extra 20 won't make much of a problem.

**Darnok** · 18-11-2007, 17:32

I doubt that any real Ork player has much problems of fielding 100 boyz.

Those formations sound nice indeed.

Killgore · 18-11-2007, 17:33

I love the sound of the Shock Attack battery, that will be very popular!

Thats the "Dont cross the beams!" thing we heard about previously by looks

Dren Krelar · 19-11-2007, 00:51

I believe the Ghostbusters qoute is "Don't cross the streams."

I don't understand the Trukk Konvoy rule. Why would hitting a trukk with a S6 hit add 2D6" to his movement?

Hellebore · 19-11-2007, 00:54

They've probaby stuck rokkit fuel in the engine or something - meaning there is a high chance the engine will blow up or drop out the bottom of the trukk OR it zooms forward at breakneck speed...

stress of the vehicle from pushing it beyond speeds it was meant to go (and that's saying a lot for orks).

Dosadi · 19-11-2007, 02:03

These sound awesome.
Let’s see;
100+ orks? Check!
3+ Trukks? Check!
Now I just have to convert a bunch of shokk attack guns as having identical ones would be counter-orky.
2008 is going to be a good year to be a greenskin!

Because those of us fielding core elite force with MANs, 'ard boys and big vehicles are clearly not 'real' ork players.

Of course not - the majority of an ork army is its boyz. Since when was armageddon invaded by a half dozen nobs and some ard boyz?

That's like saying a real eldar army is composed of nothing but dark reapers and wraithlords, or a real marine army is nothing but devestators and dreadnoughts.

They are real in the sense that they use ork units, but the only place you 'really' find those armies is on the tournament table - and I've yet to see one of those in the 40k universe....

It's exactly that.

And about the trukks, they are supposed to be racing to the battlefront and competing, so one "slips the wheelz" and hits other one, this one has to be actually in base contact "to benefit" from the advance.

I didn't want to offend you or anybody else. It was meant with a portion of irony - and I hope you get what I meant.

I should wield more smileys.

Grindgodgrind · 19-11-2007, 11:33

Sounds great, I'm well up for some ghostbuster action with my Shokk Attak guns...

Thaiss · 19-11-2007, 12:11

I'll be getting 3 Spearheads so the trukk formation and Shokk attack i'll be doing. As for the boyz I'll keep painting

IAMNOTHERE · 19-11-2007, 12:43

No Dribble Joy you're ork players all right, any one with 100+ mega nobz is fine by me.

Are you kidding? No-one gets to kill my orks except me. I love it!

MuttMan · 20-11-2007, 07:58

I will settle with the Dozen trukks with 12 orks in each trukk for a few turns of tread-ripping waaghs!
